Nice series bro.. Also nice colors How do you find using the manual tele lens? Is your "in-focus" hit rate high? |

I am depending on AF-confirmation from my M42 adapter. By the way, totally recommend it if you have many M42 lenses. Manual focusing is OK for still subjects; for moving subjects, I use pre-focusing. |

I did an unsuccessful MO for this AF-confirm M42 adapter - I guess the demand is low...Nevertheless, I am going business trip to Shanghai at end of July, interesting party can PM me to bring in this item, save postage. The adapter itself cost about $90 for 4-data. |
